  • Bluedolfin, how do I contact you? I went to your website, but couldn’t find a contact. Feel free to write to me at mlowy@prodigy.net. Thanks so much!

  • Thanks, Madness. I just spoke with a holistic vet and will be going for a second opinion soon. I’m actually kind of shocked how fast vets are willing to subject an animal to such invasive procedures. Is it only $$ that concerns them? I find it a lit…

  • LovefoodLaughter, I agree with you about raw foods, however, essential oils are very powerful tools for healing. Obviously, it’s important to find a holistic vet who has experience with them (as I am planning to do), but in the case of ear polyps (a…
    in old cat question Comment by Mon46
  • Omshanti, you may want to look into essential oils. The website is www.youngliving.com.I think at your cat’s advanced age, thyroid meds are not the way to go. I, too have a problem with our fairly young cat (7). He has been diagnosed with ear polyps…

  • Marchiesa, I hear you with “the holier than thou” attitude at Whole Foods. “Whole Foods, Whole People” should be “Whole Paycheck, Whole lotta People”!
  • What a good thread. I bought a dehydrator at the beginning of my raw journey last September, and have hardly used it. The longer I’ve been raw, the more I’ve veered towards simpler foods. I love my greens! So many recipes have way too many nuts and …
  • Me too. Thanks for the website.
  • Sounds good. I’m not a big fan of Nama Shoyu to begin with (it’s also expensive!), and adding salt to taste is a good alternative.
  • Zoe, I’m curious. When you substitute salt for Nama Shoyu, what kind of proportions do you use? For example, if the recipe called for 2 tablespoons, how much salt would you toss in?
  • Hi Bluedolfin. I just listened to Dr. Murray’s talk. In light of what he said, can you direct me to any specific empirical studies on the effects of glyconutrients on the digestive and immune systems? I especially want to know if glyconutrients are …
  • Thanks again, Bluedolfin. I did miss it the first time.
  • Glyconutrients have been found to have a positive effect on many conditions, including autism. So if there are any parents out there with kids on the spectrum, it would be worthwhile to listen to this.Thanks for the heads up.
  • Gymbum, judging by your picture, you do not need to lose weight!

  • Yes, yes, yes! Too many onions for me as well (I used 2 large onions cause that’s all we had). In fairness, I don’t think I spread the batter out thin enough, but still, I found the bread a little overwhelming. I might try again in the future and tw…
  • Alive4sure, thanks for passing on the info from RawSummit2. I eat a ton of greens (especially kale) daily, so perhaps protein is not the issue for me. I actually think I have to be more consistent with the supplements (I tend to forget and sometimes…
  • LovefoodLaughter, Generally in the past when I have felt depleted, I have felt better when I’ve added the very thing you suggested—wild caught Alaskan salmon. Because I’ve had a guilt issue with eating fish, I would like to find an alternative. How…
  • This is a great topic. I have been about 95% raw since September. Prior to that I ate a lot of raw food, but also some cooked vegetables and fish occasionally. While I initially felt great when I started, I have noticed lately that I’m tired a lot. …
  • Sorry, Fatma! I was addressing rawmama. Of course, I’m really addressing everyone on the forum, but you know what I mean.
  • Fatma, if you are going to give your daughter colloidal silver, you must be careful. Too much can create a permanent skin condition called “agyria” in which the skin turns permanently gray. I don’t know of any sites that provide info about providing…
  • I missed this site a lot! I also wanted to thank Kandace and Ray for the great work they do and for estalishing this wonderful forum.
    in We're back! Comment by Mon46
  • Socal, it sounds as if you are eating very high amounts of sugar (albeit fruit sugar). Don’t you have concerns about that? Where do you get your nutritional information?
    in Nutrition Facts Comment by Mon46
  • SocaL, that’s really enlightening. Why is it, do you think, that so many raw recipes seem to throw caution to the wind regarding fat? Particularly uncookbook recipes. I think there has to be a balance somewhere, but how to figure it out? I find it a…
    in Nutrition Facts Comment by Mon46
  • SocaL, although I don’t believe it would be possible to do it on this site, I think it’s a great idea. I’m often shocked by the amount of excessive fat in recipes, and usually end up tweaking them to reduce the fat content. But this brings up anothe…

  • Ah, humananimal, once I saw “drink your own urine”, I didn’t look too deeply for an explanation. Call me a wuss, but way too hardcore for me. Not to mention how complex the entire regime is. It would be nearly impossible to have a life and do the cl…
    in Dr.Jubb's Cleanse Comment by Mon46
  • The cleanse is extremely complicated and includes having to drink your own urine. If that kind of thing appeals to you, you can contact Jubb’s Longevity here in NYC, and you can order the booklet that tells you how to do it. I took one look at it an…

  • At Pure Food and Wine Takeaway here in NYC, they make a delicious “sushi” using pignoli nuts for the rice. It tastes fabulous and very much like the real thing. I have no idea how they do it, however. It might be in the Pure Food and Wine uncookbook…
  • I bought it and used it once. I don’t know if it was the bag, but the nut milk tasted really strange. I haven’t used it since. Personally, I think you could use cheesecloth and get a good result. Good luck!
  • Karmyngirl, there are also mesh bags you can place food into (actually designed for kids who have feeding difficulties where there is risk of choking). Your baby could chew on whatever you put into it without risk of having it break into pieces in h…
  • Thanks, humananimal. I live near Wholefoods and quite a few other health food stores, so I should get lucky eventually.

  • Where do I buy young coconuts. I live in NYC—should be plenty, but I have no idea where to go. Thanks.
